P5 STEM Topic

This week the children were investigating gravity. They used Newton metres to measure the pull of gravity on a range of materials. Then they had to record their results in a table. Their next steps is to write a procedure about this experiment. They are training to be the scientists of the future!

Well done P5!

Primary 1

This week Primary 1 have been investigating ‘Cuisenaire rods’.  Their challenge was to build a staircase.

We have been using word building lego to make cvc words during our literacy time.

In writing we have been writing a two part story.  We have been focusing on patterns in our drawings, having a go at writing new words and finger spaces.

What a quick week it has been.

In Literacy we are focusing on reading and writing procedures. We have discussed all the different types of procedures in everyday life.

In Numeracy/Maths we are continuing area – using formula to calculate the area of composite shapes.

We had a great World Book day on Thursday. We made new book covers for our favourite books, drew favourite book characters and some of us read our favourite parts of our favourite books to the class.  Some of us even dressed up for the occasion.

Magnet Investigation

As part of their STEM topic the children were investigating a variety of things to see if they were able to attract magnets.

In their jotters they had a table and they had to set out their findings: what items were able to attract magnets and what items were not?

Their next steps will be to plan and write a procedure of this experiment.

This week Primary 2 had great fun celebrating World Book Day. They got the opportunity to sit and read in the library as well as taking  part in a scavenger hunt.  They also had great fun showing off their costumes and they even designed their own book covers! They even managed to fit in a game of corners in the hall!!  Here are some pictures of what they got up to….

P4 Blog: Week Beginning 28^th February 2022

We have been practicing our Procedure writing skills this week. Planning and drafting A recipe for Pancakes. We made sure to have all four parts of a procedure and to use key words and verbs.

We have almost finished our novel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator and we created out of this world art to retell our favourite scene from the story.

Remember tomorrow is World Book Day. We look forward to seeing your fantastic book character costumes.

Thank you Primary Four for making my last week at PUSCPS so much fun! Miss Hall 🙂

This week in Primary 2 we have been learning the ‘ng’ sound. We danced and sang along to a video about the ‘ng’ sound before having a go at using it to build words.

.

We have also been working really hard on practising our common words by using finger paint, cubes and rainbows. We challenged ourselves to write the words we had been practising on our whiteboard and got the rest of the class to double check it

.

Finally, on Friday we had a go at sharing our learning about space through drama. We became space explorers travelling through the galaxy pointing out and giving facts about things we could see along the way.

Well done Primary 2 for another fantastic week of work!
